About this map

Content Rd traverses this remote portion of Phillips County, serving as the primary corridor through a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and vast grazing allotments. The map details the drainage basins of Sevenmile Cr and D H S Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain of the northern Great Plains. These ephemeral waterways, along with Cottonwood Cr in the southeastern corner, dictate the sparse distribution of ranching infrastructure and land use in this Big Dry country.

The topography is further characterized by distinct landform labels such as Swedes Sq and Swedes Sq W, indicating localized geographic identifiers used by generations of residents. The presence of numerous small reservoirs and stock ponds scattered across the township lines of T28N R31E and T28N R32E highlights the essential nature of water management in this arid Montana environment during the early twenty-first century.
